Creating a Love of Reading!

Help me give my students a diversified reading experience that meets them at their current lexile level and challenges them to grow and fall in love with reading!

My Project

These resources will help my students to find a more diverse and challenging assortment of reading materials to help them fall in love with reading and be life-long readers! After COVID-19 shutdowns, students became heavily reliant on technology for entertainment. This caused them to lose much of their interest in reading, imagination, and affinity for learning. This project hopes to reignite that love of learning through a variety of high-interest texts and challenging topics that will expand their minds and help them grow as individuals. These books are not just resources, but tools to help students come back to a mindset of interest and excitement for education.
